The Bookworm Club meets monthly and is currently discussing the book Art Photography by David Bate who is Professor of Photography at the University of Westminster. This beautifully produced book (Tate Publishing) came out in 2015 and is available in paperback.

The course is for anyone who is looking for new directions for their photography and to enhance their technical and creative skills. It assumes working knowledge of a compact or SLR camera, and basic familiarity with image processing software such as Photoshop.

This new course with photographer Claire Harper will cover all aspects of basic light painting from setting up your camera, focusing in the dark, equipment and basic kit, spinning the perfect orb, different light painting techniques and effects to create unique images including light painted portraits.

The course is suitable for photographers wishing to learn about controlled lighting and working with a nude model to producing high quality photographs. The techniques are also suitable for pregnancy and maternity photography.

If you want to learn the very basics of studio lighting this is the course for you. It will cover how to expose for lighting, how to meter your lighting as well as learning the 4 basic lighting patterns and how they are used.
